My switch cover looks exactly the same. Green leds do not light up.

I am not new to flashlights. So I could remove the driver and see if there are any issues. But it would void the warranty.

Can anyone tell me what the max beam intensity for it?

i didn’t follow the thread

I have some news on emitter swaps.

I talked to Richard at Mountain Electronics (RMM on these forums and a sponsor here) and told him there might be more than a few guys with GT’S interested in swapping to a cooler tint. He says that if you send in your stock mcpcb to him and buy one of his new XHP35-HI emitters, he will reflow it for free! He has 2 choices right now, 5,000k and 5700k tint. They are both the same D4 brightness bin as the stock GT 4000k emitter.

The cost of both are under $8, plus the shipping cost there and back. I’m in Texas and shipping a small package from him is usually $2 to $3. So I would estimate the entire cost at under $15.

From his store:

Here is the link to the 5000k.

Here is the link to the 5700k.

If your outside of the USA, then I’m not sure what shipping would be or if he even does international shipping. You’d have to contact him for details.

It’s from 1,1 to 1,3 mcd

When Vestureofblood tested the prototype it was 1,290,000 cd.

Well put Texas_ace…

I would prefer a better quality with a slower shipping time.

I just bought 8 new lights over this past month. With that said, I’m in no hurry to get chewed out by my wife for buying another flashlight…! Especially one that’s not gonna be easy to hide…

Just glad to be in on the group buy list and looking forward to making payment!

Take your time Lumintop, the better the quality the more you will sell down the road!

This a flagship of a light!

I added you to our current list of international recipients.

I don’t think it would void the warranty.

It should be pretty easy to check for power on the led. Just set your DMM to DC volts and probe the rear of the switch pcb on the black and white wires. You should see 2.18v. The white wire is ground and the black wire is for the switch leds. (The red wire is for the e-switch and has 5v to it)

If you see no voltage, then it’s possible your black wire to the switch came loose or the firmware is not sending the signal out. Maybe yours is set to off by default? You could make sure the settings are turned ON. You can see on the bottom of page 6 in the GT manual that there are 3 options.

If you DO see voltage, the software is working fine and it might be your tiny resistor by the leds not making good contact.

Here are some pics.

If you don’t feel up to checking it, I would PM Texas_Ace about getting it fixed (assuming it bothers you).

any news on registered package ?

I haven’t heard anything. The shipments from the 27th and 3rd where just DHL because they where on pallets. This shipment on the 9th seems to have a wide variety of destinations. All we have to go by is people posting here about their orders.

Thank you!Bo4ka

With Joshi on top, it looks half as big :-P

That is awesome, Richard is the best! Not an option for us in the rest of the world because of expense I’d say (but yes, he does do international shipping usually), but then again, I’d much rather have a warmish neutral than a coldish one… :slight_smile:
Wouldn’t mind 5000k, but doubt I’ll think it’s worth the trouble to change the LED when the light arrives.

Black cable was not connected to the driver. Problem solved.
Thank you so much BLF GT Team, for this beautifull monster :slight_smile:

My GT arrived today :sunglasses: ! No batteries with DHL.

Thanks to all.

Did the wire break loose or was it not soldered? If it looks like a manufacturing issue we should let Neal know about it.

I’m glad it was an easy fix.
